In 2004, the track (now known as '''When [[file:Eye.png]] Lay My Hands On U''') was included as the first track on [[Prince]]’s 29th full-length studio album [[Album: The_Chocolate Invasion|The Chocolate Invasion]], the first compilation album of [[NPG Music Club]] downloads. |

It was initially tentatively included as the opening track on the [[Album: High|High]] album, announced as completed (as a "rough draft") on [[NPGOnlineLtd.com]] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/August 8|8 August 2000]], before the album was abandoned. <!-- On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 16|16 September 2000]], [[NPGOnlineLtd.com]] announced that [[Prince]] had been filming "clips of songs (not fully produced videos)" for an upcoming online project - it is likely, therefore, that the 1:09 video released concurrently with the song through the [[NPG Music Club]] is all that was recorded. --> |
